Bath repair in Paulsgrove without replacing anything
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. We’re often asked to fix a chip where the taps sit and chips along the edge of the bath, on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

When we would advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
What we do, step by step
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it deals only with the damage in a single visit. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
What you get with us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Honest advice, even when it means no job

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The material
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the whole bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
